Pags Posted September 30, 2023 Posted September 30, 2023 The question is simple. Will this work if mounted on a foot pedal instead of on a hi-hat? uWill it take the impact of the bass pedal? Thanks! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0745BNCSP/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=AKM33YJGBLTPH&psc=1
1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted September 30, 2023 Posted September 30, 2023 You want to know if you can mount it to a bass drum pedal? You mean a second pedal that isn't also beating a bass drum?
Pags Posted September 30, 2023 Author Posted September 30, 2023 Yes. I keep it to the left of the hi hat pedal, and is completely independent of the base drum pedals. At present, I have a cowbell on it I hit with my left foot but I've been tired of having the cowbell there and want it paired up with it's brother on the actual kit again. Plus, I had an old LP hi-hat tambourine but it broke. So, perfect time to get a cheap replacement and switch things up. And, I ways hated it on the hi-hat. I called a local music shop and he was like, "Hey, better to experiment and go for it than not to try it." I agree. 2
1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted September 30, 2023 Posted September 30, 2023 I'm not a drum guy, but it could be a fun experiment. Neil would have those electronic trigger pedals around his kit, and he'd have a tambourine programmed into one of them. You'd hear it in his solo and on Double Agent. You'd be doing the same thing but with an actual tambourine. 3
PW_Guitarist Posted October 4, 2023 Posted October 4, 2023 (edited) DW has a self-contained unit: https://www.long-mcquade.com/176244/Drums/Hardware/Drum-Workshop/2000-Series-Tambourine-Pedal.htm If you already have the tambourine and/or pedal, all you need is the Gajate bracket: https://www.lpmusic.com/products/hardware/mounts-and-brackets/pro-gajate-bracket The high-impact plastic frame tambourine should be able to take the abuse of a bass drum pedal beater. I would not recommend using a wooden tambourine with a pedal. Edited October 6, 2023 by PW_Guitarist Typo on Gajate 3
launchpad67a Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 If you're only interested in single hits, then your mount idea might work. But if you really want effective tambourine playing, then the DW pedal is the way to go. They're awesome! 2
Laurabw Posted May 19 Posted May 19 Funny, we're doing FF's Learn to Fly in my Adult School of Rock and we were trying to rig something up for the tambourine. I just hung it off a separate guitar stand for him within reach. Far from perfect but it worked. But then we decided the other drummer will just do that part. 1

When I’ve played this live I would set a tambourine on my floor tom and just strike it. 2

I’ve used a rubber practice pad - I place that on the floor tom and the tambourine on top that so it absorbs the residual sound. 2
Jack Aubrey Posted July 2 Posted July 2 Since you're using a pedal on a tambourine, I strongly recommend you invest in a soft beater like this one: Latin Percussion soft beater.
